One major project - and certainly a highlight of the new construction projects - was just completed in time for the new school year. Construction crews worked frantically to complete the on- campus apartment complex known as University Commons in time for the arrival of stu- dents in mid-August. Housing 150 students, the apartments will alleviate the housing short- age brought on by skyrocketing enrollment in recent years. The apartments overlook Lake Hollifield and feature state-o-f- the-art accommodations such as Internet capabilities in students rooms. Laura Bell of Kings Mountain is one of the first students to live in the new apartments. She says, "It sure does beat living in a dorm room. Things like the washer and dryer make it con- venient. No more accumulating change for the machines and no more waiting in line. I now share the machines with only three other girls instead of 20 or 30." Bell is a senior majoring in sociology. The apartments are a direct result of a 20 percent increase in enrollment over the last two years. Fall 1997 should continue to shatter records as over 3,000 students are expected in the University's undergraduate, graduate and night school pro- grams. Preliminary statistics from GWU admissions officials September 18,1997 indicate that new freshmen en- tering this fall are averaging a 1,035 SAT score and a 3.5 Grade Point Average. The upcoming year will wit- ness the completion of several new landmark projects, such as the renovation of Hamrick Hall, the most historic building on campus and future home of the GWU School of Business, and the implementation of comput- er technology that developers hail as the most advanced in the Southeast, if not the nation. Vaccine offered to county sixth graders The Cleveland County Health . Department will offer Hepatitis B immunizations at no charge to sixth graders attending Burns, Crest, Shelby and Kings Mountain Middle Schools. Hepatitis B shots protect chil- dren from being infected with Hepatitis B, a dangerous and sometimes cancer-causing liver disease. . The Hepatitis B immuniza- tion schedule for Kings Mountain will be September 30 (first dose), November 4 (sec- ond dose) and April 7, 1998 (third dose). For more information call 484-5115. "Our sixth grade school site Hepatitis B immunization ini- tiative is a convenient way to protect kids who didn't get the vaccine as infants," said Dense Stallings, Health Department Director. "Since more than a third of cases occur in 15- to 39- year-olds, it is especially impor- tant that we reach this age group.” A booster does of MMR (red measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine will also be available with parent permission at the time of the third dose of Hepatitis B to participating stu- dents, since this shot is recom- mended for adolescents who have not had the second does. Hepatitis B is spread through contact with blood or body flu- ids of infected individuals. More than 25 percent of report- ed cases have no identified means of transmission. In North Carolina, there were approxi- mately 900 reported cases of Hepatitis B infection last year alone. Children should receive three Hepatitis B shots over a six- month period to be protected. Local health and school officials believe that offering the three- shot series in school will ensure that more children will be pro- tected against the disease in the long run. "We strongly encourage par- ents to take advantage of this opportunity to immunize their children against this deadly dis- ease,” Stallings said. "This is a chance to save parents some time and do something that will continue to benefit our students long after their finish school." Sign Constitution at Military Park Citizens sign th Constitution Roring Constitution Week September 17-23 at Kings Mountain National Military Park. This is the fifth year KMNMP has sponsored "I Signed the Constitution" events to encour- age Americans to affirm their rights and responsibilities as cit- izens and to learn more about the Constitution. Just as the original signers did, partici- can pants can place their signatures on parchment scrolls which will be returned to the National Constitution Center and be- come part of a permanent archival record in the NCC's planned museum, the Constitution Center. KMNMP is one of over 300 sites representing all 50 states that will sponsor "I Signed the Constitution" events. In past years, more than 1.2 million people have added their names to the document. While the events are de- signed to provide a celebration for the whole family, "I Signed the Constitution" events are firmly rooted in the NCC's mis- sion to provide Constitution ed- ucation for adults and children. Each year new material is pro- vided to signers with the goal of broadening their knowledge about the Constitution and the Grading is under way for new Revco CVS Pharmacy is grading at the site of the old Rock Motel on Shelby Road for a 10,125 square foot $1.5 million build- ing to house the former Revco Drug Stores, according to devel- ‘Brad Morganton. Norvell said grading is still underway but he expects con- struction to start in about two weeks. He said the new store should be up and running in about six months. Developers Norvell and his father, Jerry Norvell, have pre- Norvell of. sented site plans to the City of Kings Mountain's Planning Department. The name of Revco will be changed to CVS Pharmacy, ac- cording to N ozvell. Drive throtbh inddws , en- trances on both US 74 and Spring Street, 53 parking spaces, including three handi- capped spaces, four canopy parking lot trees, buffering and street yard landscaping on all four sides of the brick building are included in the new devel- opment along with cur and gut- tering. Architect is Thomas H. Hughes. General contractor is Steve Sexton of Winston-Salem. "We hope the new store will increase the visibility in that part of town and we will be ex- panding the same products that Revco has formerly offered to Kings Mountain citizens," he said. CVS formerly owned the Revco Store on King Street and the Cornwell Drug Store which sold to Revco. Three KM residents arrested on drug charges Three Kings Mountain people were arrested September 12 af- ter a search warrant of three apartments at 414 and 415 North Battleground and 416 Clinton Drive. Lt. Billy Benton of the Cleveland County Sheriff's Department said the search teams included officers of the Sheriff's Office Narcotics and Vice Officers and C. O. P. offi- cers and officers of the Kings Mountain Police Department. Benton said the searches were the result of complaints of alleged illegal drug activity. Benton said approximately 100 rocks of crack cocaine and a small quantity of marijuana were seized with a street value of $2500. Charged were Ralphael Williams, 18, of 414 N.
